I put 2 inch hubCentric spacers and have zero issues with my 2019 Laramie. I've had them on for 3000 miles already. At first i purchased the 1.5 inch spacers but that DID require me to trim the threads. I returned them and went for the 2 inch, and that required no trimming and it gave me the stance that I was looking for. I would recommend HubCentric, that way the spacer and tire will rest on the Hub and not on the lugs!! Here's a video of my Laramie with and without the wheel spacers. Hope this helps. Enjoy:

So even with the 1.5" spacer the factory studs wouldn't fit in the relief pocket on the backside of the wheel?

Yeah I’m curious about this as well. Was it a depth or width issue? Those relief pockets pictures look pretty darn deep.

I know what you mean, and it does look like it would fit, but I didn't pay attention. I always wanted the 2'' spacers and by mistake I ordered the 1.5'', so when i got them and realized they were 1.5, i was like DAMN!!! I wanted to see how the process was to take out the tire and put on the spacers, so I did. When i put on the spacers, the threads were poking out...(the thread size is 1.75'' and the spacers are 1.5'') so i figured the tire wouldn't fit. I didn't realize the wells of the rims were that deep, but either way for some reason when i put on the tire, they would not go on flush. When i got the 2'' spacers, they mounted easily with no problem. Hope this helps.

@Muttmutt is running 1-1/2' in the front and 1' rear on stock Laramie 20s. I'll ask him if he had to cut the studs.

Now I'm really curious... 1" in the rear and 1.5" in the front? Usually the rear wheels are little farther tucked than the fronts. I usually put larger spacers on the rear. I'm curious what his logic is there.

3-1/2" front lift. Once you put that kind of angle on the front end it tucks the wheels more in the front versus having nice flat control arms.

This is his setup looks nice with the 305s

I just spoke with Lenny at MotorSport Tech. With pockets like those, and the ones on my Rebel wheels, he says even 1.25" spacers should work fine.

When I flipped my wheel over I was happy to see those pockets, I want to run either 1.25 or 1.5 but I wont cut the wheel studs. Hopefully muttmutt replies on what he had to do if anything. I can't remember the exact measurement but I measured the depth with calipers and they are over an 1" deep. I remember thinking you could run as narrow as 3/4". I'm not sure if all the casting pockets are them same between the different wheel designs, but looking at your pic they appear to be. I think what may have been the issue for Dragon is the lug nuts that came with the spacer may have stuck out beyond the spacer surface itself, they would be too wide to fit up in the rim pocket. Muttmutt ran BORA's so they may have different lug for attaching the spacer to the hub that sits down lower in the spacer pocket.

The rear 1” spacer requires just a little grinding on the end of the stud at the bare shank. No need to get into the threads on the stud. I used tape in the pockets of the wheel to test fit and without removing just a little bit of the stud the rear would touch the wheel. Fronts had plenty of room and no need to touch the studs for the 1 1/2 " spacers

Thanks for the insight

I have the same exact steering wheel cover. Truck looks good with the spacer.

I have tried to install the same 2 inch Yitamotor spacers as listed in this thread on my 19 rebel for some reason my wheels do not sit flush against the spacer.

Looks like the hub center may be wrong?

If your using gm spacers they're too big for the center bore at 78 mm. You need BORA adapters that are ram specific at 77.7 mm. Sometimes gm adapters work, it all depends on the machining tolarances.

Great to know thank you seems everyone else having no problems. Would you happen to have a link to the 2 inch Bora ones

Choose the 2019 ram 1500 in the drop down box. Make sure the center bore is 77.8mm and lug pattern is 6 on 5.5, all options from 1.00" to 4.00" will come up
